Comic Book Paper Flowers

Before this year, I had not ever made a paper flower. I had not really considered how easy, or hard it may be, or how long it would take to make a single flower.

Needless to say, I have now had my lifetime fill of paper flower making so it is unlikely I will undertake this task again any time in the future.

Inspired by Pinterest and buoyed by the opportunity to have a unique bridal bouquet (and save some serious dollars) I started. The first half dozen came out quite quickly and I was pleased with the results. But then it dawned on me that I would need a LOT of paper flowers to make a decent looking bouquet, and a throwing bouquet, and the boutonniere for the groom and the boys. Sprint turned to marathon, excitement turned to dread.

But in the end, after many months of cutting and gluing, there were enough flowers and the construction of the bouquet commenced, and was eventually complete.

To say I was relieved when it was done, is quite an understatement. I love my bouquet and it holds pride of place in our home, but it is safe to say hell will freeze over before I set off on another paper flower making adventure.
